According to their website, FitBit only offers continuous tracking (known as PurePulse) on a few of its models. My point was that the new OS update must track continuously or more frequently than it was originally done because it wouldn&#x2

If it works anything like Apple Pay, you'll be required to push the side button to confirm a purchase. The Face ID piece will simply authorize you but there's still an action required to make the purchase.

That can't possibly be the case. A big point made during the latest keynote was that the watch will now report heart arrhythmia and that wouldn't be possible if the tracking was intermittent. It's probably close to something

And this is the part that I don't understand. According to most articles about this, they do offer private, shared offices. They're shared in that anyone can badge into them and use it privately but they're not assigned to an

iOS does the same after 48 hours of not being unlocked or re-authorized. I agree that this seems like a decent security compromise. Anyone with physical access to your phone for more than 48 hours has other vectors to pursue that are far ea

The issue is that they can compel you to unlock the phone and then make an image of the phone's contents which would allow them to clone it to another phone. They would then have full access to everything on your phone including any li

You don't even have to do that anymore. With the new OS that will be standard on the new iPhones, you can just tap the power button 5 times to put it into a forced-lock mode. It'll require the use of your passcode before Face ID o

I've had both generations of Apple Watch and Series 2, to me, is a big improvement over Series 1. Not sure about 0 since I had no reason to get one. I definitely don't think I could stop using it after a few months on the fitness

So... within a 1 mile radius, you have a 20% failure rate. Assume you're the average and that's still an incredible amount of failure. If you pair it with my statistic, that's an unbelievable failure rate. On the other hand,

Sorry, I read your first response as the screen being dimmer, not the wallpaper. I was complaining that you wouldn't be able to read notifications if the screen was dimmed but that wasn't what you said. My bad!

I highly doubt that. I've had several FitBit devices and the Apple Watch essentially killed all of them. The number of fitness-related things the Apple Watch can track is significantly higher than the FitBit and I can also make calls a

But then you'd never be able to look at your notifications without "unlocking" the phone. That doesn't seem too useful.

Although that's kind of a clever response, most bells have a chime to alert you to the hour change so it would just be the chime without the counted bell strikes. Better yet, since 0 would always be the start of a new day, make the s

I feel like the examples shows are a little disingenuous. He's ignoring the entire fact that CSS rules cascade and that design has hierarchy. I don't see a functional different between .media-card .media-card__image and .medi

I think you're exactly right here. The article leaves off too many details and speculates entirely too much for me to feel comfortable making any kind of assessment and I think that this is exactly what they want. We haven't heard

I have a feeling that we're only getting half of the story here. I kinda feel, because of the way the article is written, that these 2 didn't actually get approval to do this release but decided to anyways. There are too many deta

And again, I ask... What information or benefit does that give you that you didn't know before? This only works on specific people and targets that you've had to identify before using this. I have yet to hear of a specific example

With your first example, you could do that but it wouldn't be realistic to do that. Like I said, you'd have to know the admin's logged in Google email address already and then they'd have to sit on that page for over 2

If that's the case, then why haven't other PC manufacturers come in and swept that market from them? People still buy iMacs and MacBooks in droves and they gladly pay those costs. If there was nothing more than an arbitrary Appl

Is this really even a big issue? For one, you have to already have knowledge of the email address in advance. Then you have to somehow get this user to go to a page that you have control over. Then you have to get them to wait around on you

This is exactly what I hate about all the internet arguments about Apple in general. When an anti-fanboi screams that they can get the exact same computer for $1000 cheaper because of the "Apple tax", I abandon the conversation co

I think the author of this article needs to update everything on here. I realize that the article is dated as today and that he reports the latest price drop for the Oculus but none of the rest of the article is really up-to-date. For start
